ahhhh, the first piece of Z80 machine code I ever wrote.... I looked at
the BASIC code in a big book I had of computer games and wrote a version
- handed coded mind, I had no assembler :)

It ran on my ZX80 but there was no way of stopping it once it got
started - maybe someone can tell me if this is mathematically correct
but there seemed to be no 'solution' that produced an endlessly random
pattern of cells - just a repeating pattern (if you include the 'empty
set' as such a pattern)
